Mr. Peerybingle, his wife ,Dot, and their baby boy are joined by the nanny, Tilly, as well as the chirping cricket on the hearth who watches over them all.

Though jealousy and distrust threaten the Christmas cheer, friendly faces from near and far will come together in the spirit of the season.
Om forfatteren
An international celebrity during his lifetime, Charles Dickens (1812–1870) is widely regarded as the greatest novelist of the Victorian era. His classic works include A Christmas Carol, Oliver Twist, David Copperfield, Great Expectations, and A Tale of Two Cities, one of the bestselling novels of all time. When Dickens was twelve years old, his father was sent to debtors’ prison, and the boy was forced to work in a boot-blacking factory to support his family. The experience greatly shaped both his fiction and his tireless advocacy for children’s rights and social reform.
